Long before the birth of light, there was darkness, and from that darkness came the Dark Elves. Their leader, Malekith desired to return the Universe to a state of eternal darkness, using a weapon of infinite destruction called the Aether. When they were about to achieve its objective, but the Asgardian troops came to Svartalfheim and defeated the Dark Elves. In a desperate attempt, Malekith sacrificed his own people to defeat the Asgardian troops. As the Aether could not destroyed, the King Bor ordered to hide where no one would find them ever.

Thousands of years later, Jane Foster found the Aether, which caused the awakening of the Dark Elves. Malekith gave a mission to Algrim, to be the last kursed. Back in Asgard, the attack began when Algrim freed all prisoners of Asgard, except one, Loki. The Dark Elves are withdrawn from Asgard without having obtaining the Aether. Thor devises a plan to make Dark Elves don't attack Asgard once again, then Thor and Loki takes Jane to Svartalfheim.
